As one of the folks posting, I think that is being a little harsh, don't you think Jeff?  I am just acknowledging the reality that some folks will be cut out of options that people currently deem as being desirable.  We should be working create better options around the city and believe it or not I am.  But I have to admit to myself that whatever my small contribution helps come up with, people are more likely going to grudgingly accept rather than openly embrace.  The new ideas will be just that at the start. Ideas.  And they will require a lot of additional hard work to make them reality during which time we'll still have a lot of uncertainty.[/quote]

I think it is harsh to cavalierly expect other families to be moved around like chess pieces on a board while not expecting the same for yourself. If you start with the goal that no boundary should be shifted to a lower performing school, you may not achieve that goal. But, you will come a lot closer than you will if you don't even try.

I am not saying that everyone needs to happily embrace their new boundaries. But, if the change is not one that you would find acceptable to yourself, I'm not sure you should be recommending it for others.
